Danielle Donato

It was double eviction week last Thursday on Big Brother13, as two of the strongest players left in the game were voted out.

Veterans Danielle Donato and Jeff Schroeder were evicted, joining fellow veteran Brendon Villegas in the jury house. In new interviews, both Danielle and Jeff speak out on their evictions, what they would have done differently and their thoughts on being able to play the game twice.

Q. RealityWanted: What prompted to you to turn on your alliance with the veterans so early in the game?A. Daniele: I knew that Jeff was going to be really hard to get out later on in the game. I had a really tight alliance with Brendon and Rachel. They were the perfect alliance member because they were strong competitors and huge targets. I knew that with Dominic the four of us could run the house. Period. Also, Brendon and Jeff walked around the house just bullying everyone, including me. I didn’t want any part of that. I am my own person and wanted to make my own moves and not base things on what Brendon and Jeff told me what to do.Q. RealityWanted: Did you expect to be backdoored by Jeff? He has said in the past that that’s not how he plays.A. Daniele: Jeff walks around that house preaching integrity and honesty. The reason I didn’t backdoor Jeff was because he accused me of attacking him on a personal level in week three in trying to back door him. I wanted to prove that it wasn’t personal. The only reason he backdoored me was because he held a personal grudge and wanted to make a big move.

Q. RealityWanted: Your relationships with Kalia and Porsche seem genuine. Are they friendships that you will carry outside of the game?A. Daniele: I never came into this house expecting A. to make friends and B. to make friends with girls. I cannot wait to have real friendships with these people outside of the house. Kalia and Porsche are both amazing women. Those friendships were real and they will last forever.

Q. RealityWanted: What was the best part about getting to play the game a second time?A. Daniele: I think the best part is knowing what I’m getting myself into and being able to appreciate the whole experience more.

Q. RealityWanted: What was the fight this week with Shelly about? Is it because she told Rachel that you threw the cornhole challenge?A. Jeff: It was just to call Shelly out. She made three deals with other people in the house. That might have been my demise, but it happened the way it happened. I wasn’t scared of anyone in the house, but ultimately, that was my demise. Either way, I’m out and they are in.

Q. RealityWanted: Are you surprised that she suddenly turned on your alliance?A. Jeff: Shocked. I thought I would be friends with Shelly after the game – and I want to say that it is all just a game – but for Shelly to do something like that really hurt. Right now, it stings, but we’ll see how I feel at the finale.

Q. RealityWanted: Playing a week’s worth of Big Brother in one night might be great television but it seems pretty terrible if you’re a player and end up on the wrong side of things. Could things have gone differently if tonight’s events took place over the course of a week?A. Jeff: I don’t know what I could have done to prepare even if I had known, but I definitely would not have had it out with Shelly yesterday.

In other BB news, TMZ is reporting today that Shelly Moore’sfamily has met with the FBI over the death threats they had been receiving following Jeff’s eviction. Some deranged fans were apparently leaving frightening calls and emails for Shelly’s loved ones.

Fortunately, the FBI has determined that none of the threats were “credible.” Sources close to Shelly’s family also reveal that the threats have essentially stopped in the last couple of days. Good.

And finally, a new live eviction episode of Big Brother airs tonight on CBS. HOH Porsche was forced to put up two of her own alliance members after opening up the Pandora box and unleashing the pairs twist back on the house. Up for eviction are Shelly and Adam. It appears Shelly will be the one getting the boot unless she is able to pull off a last minute miracle. The episode airs tonight at 9/8c.

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON JEFF AND DANIELLE’S INTERVIEWS? WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE GO HOME TONIGHT?

UPDATE #3 – Evel Dick posted a video online on his RTVZone site revealing he left the show due to an emergency involving someone close to him. He claims out of respect for the person’s privacy, he will not reveal more information or even who this person is. He denies it was a publicity stunt and states he was there to win the game. He apologized to CBS, Danielle and his alliance. There are rumors it might have something to do with his girlfriend. Dick’s absence came to light last Thursday when the live feeds came on and fans discovered Dick had gone into the diary room to never return.

UPDATE #2 – Evel Dick just posted the following on his twitter page – “I will be releasing a public video statement on @RTVZone in the next couple days concerning my departure from the Big Brother House.” He added, “But to squash the rumors, I am not in jail, don’t have cancer, my mother son and girlfriend are not in the hospital & I was not kicked out.”

UPDATE – CBS has now confirmed Dick has indeed left the game. “Due to a personal matter, houseguest Dick Donato had to leave the game unexpectedly on Thursday. His departure will be addressed on the episode to be broadcast on Wednesday, July 13,” said a rep for the network.

Ai ya ya, just one day into the live feeds, some major updates to report.

It now appears Evel Dick, one of the former HGs to return to the game, has exited the Big Brotherhouse. Dick’s absence was first noticed on the live feeds early this morning as he was no where to be found once the feeds came on.

According to the HGs, Dick had been called into the diary room and remained there for hours while the HGs worried about his whereabouts.

Finally Dick’s daughter Danielle was called into the diary room hours ago and told Dick had left the show. In return, Danielle was given a golden key which will keep her safe until week 10. No word yet on why Dick left the show but Danielle was assured it had nothing to do with their immediate family. Will update this story once the reason for Dick’s exit comes out.

And as reported earlier this week, the returning HGs were indeed Jeff and Jordan, Brendon and Rachel, and of course Evel Dick and Danielle. The nominations had already taken place before Dick’s exit so based on the BB schedule, Dick’s absence won’t be addressed until the Wednesday episode.

Rachel is the current HOH and she has nominated Porsche and Keith. (Highlight the previous sentence to see the names).
